Please Note: You will then need to make a JAWS Dictionary entry to speak the
value of ANSI character 167, by replacing ANSI167 with the word 'section'
without the quotes. JAWS should then say section when it comes across the
section sign. If preferred, you can do this without going into the
Configuration manager, etc., by highlighting the ANSI167 character (where you
know the section sign is), and by adding it to your JAWS dictionary entries
list. (JAWS Dictionary Manager) Insert+d; Default Dictionary then
ctrl+shift+d; ctrl+a for Add; then add in the ANSI167 or section sign. then
Tab to Replace and there type section. ctrl+s to save your change, and exit.

The JAWS Configuration Manager file (the .jcf file for any program opened)
can be accessed by insert+6. The default .jcf can then be reached by
ctrl+shift+d, which is also a default JAWS keystroke in other JAWS utilities
for other default files.

Right: Do not let the detail be a barrier.
1. Go into your Configuration manager, either application or default,
whichever you would prefer.
2. Press Alt+s for Set Options.
3. Press the letter g to bring up the Graphics & Symbols dialogue.
4. The first item there refers to ANSI Character Verbosity. This is what
you will change. Arrow down from "None" to any of the other values. Try the
"Type Echo, Say Char Spell Word" option by arrowing to it.
5. Having done these things, shift-tab twice to the ok button, and hit
enter.
6. Now you can save your change with ctrl+s, or you can alt-F4 from the
configuration manager and press y to save the change(s).

Hello,
The section symbol is definitely what i want JFW to recognize and I was
unable to find the graphics verbosity menu in the config manager. Can you walk
me through this like I am reading a JFW for dummies book.
Take care,
John

Try the ANSI Character Verbosity switch in the Graphics & Symbols
dialogue in the friendly config manager, Set Options, Graphics & Symbols. By
default, the verbosity is set to say no ANSI. (ANSI being an extended
character set that includes non-English alphabetical characters.) the section
sign is ANSI167 ANSI160 § sign. (I may be a little out on that, but ANSI167
is the main symbol, and then a press of spacebar seems to produce ANSI160.) In
the verbosity dialogue you might want to choose "Say char, spell word". You
can choose any of them except none. HTH.

John,
I just realized your question implies you're not finding this list, and
I should have been clearer. By "insert-4," I'm referring to the 4 on the
number row above the letters on the keyboard. I'm not referring to the numpad.
As I said in the message I just sent, I find I can access this feature
while within a variety of applications.

Hello Adrian,
I have sent an email to FS and will let you know what they say. In
the meantime, when you hit insert f4, are you in a word processing application,
such as, WordPerfect or word?
Take care,
John

Hi, everyone. I sent this message at about 6:30 last night, EST, but
it hasn't turned up in the list, as a fellow lister confirmed. I hope it's not
a repeat for any of you.
John,
I remember I once tricked JAWS into saying the section sign. However,
I've just been experimenting in the JAWS dictionary manager, only to find JAWS
doesn't recognize that it's on a character. The JAWS graphics labeler doesn't
recognize it as a graphic, at least in WordPerfect.
Curiously, the section sign does appear in the symbols list you get
by pressing insert-4. Open up that file and type an s, and you will be taken
right to it.
I've been testing this in both 6.2 and 8.
Someone on the list may also have tricked JAWS into speaking the
symbol and remembers how they did it. Otherwise, it would be worth an email to
FS tech support.
If you get an answer, please let us all know.
Adrian

Hello All,
I have a different punctuation question. I do a lot of legal reading
and there is an s like symbol for section and i was told that it was in an
earlier version of JFW. I believe it was 7.0, but cannot say for sure. When JFW
reads a code or statute section with this symbol, it reads over it as if the
symbol was not there. Is there a way to either, one, find this symbol in the
JFW menu choices, or two, select the symbol in a document and add it to the
punctuation symbols?
As always, I will greatly appreciate your help.
Take care,
John
